I'm sorry but this is so fucking lame. Your grandparents partied. Your grandparents hosted, they went to bars, they did shit. They didnt sit around and pride themselves for spending all of their free time staring at their children and mowing the lawn. Get the fuck out of your house. Take your wife out for a drink and listen to some live music. Have a conversation with someone at the bar. Go to a hockey game with your college buddies. Youre not somehow more mature for being homebound. Get a life.

Thought experiment: Australia's undersea cables are destroyed. Assume no Starlink or similar.

How do we go?

[franko 🌱 @ContinuityError]

@policypussy_ Appreciate the thoughtful response, and you spending the time to watch

This is a thought starter & provocation, tied to where we are, vs. where we were a decade or two ago. Some say deport (including citizens), we say, let's think about assimilation proactively & creatively.

There is a family stuck in ur balls.

your job is to figure out how to get it out

@TrouserMastery @build_aus hello anon, yes I have, and will do again.

How about you?

[franko 🌱 @ContinuityError]

Once one develops a strong radar for self-serving NPCs, and locks in with good people, the clouds part.

[will o’brien @Willob]

Another takeaway after three years of building a company is that the returns to just "being a good person", and not acting transactionally, are higher than I expected.

There are so many transactional, boring, and at times immoral people in the tech industry that if you act with sustained warmth, authenticity, humor, and integrity, great gifts will be laid before you. White pill.

Australia's young people no longer feel like they belong in the country.

Could this unlikely idea be the way we turn the trend around?

Poor performances from the 3 Aussies. Disappointed.

Introducing The Cheeky Pint Benchmark.

We made our intern watch every episode of Cheeky Pint to bring you this breakdown of pints drank by guests to the nearest sixth.

Congratulations to @elonmusk who is currently in the lead with three full pints of Guinness.

@batkomichael Yep, and on the latter point, I'd argue that's why today, so much of culture is lazy, referential and derivative.
